          froch has the better resume because of the depth.

          calzaghe does have the better wins, and i think he's a much better fighter.

          poopkins went on to success post zaghe, though he's obviously way past his best, and kessler was at his absoulte peak when joe fought him. when froch fought him the first time he lost, and the second kessler fight was against a very old kessler.

          calzaghe would embarrass froch. 10 rounds to 2, same as the ward fight. as much as i like froch, he'd have no answer for calzaghe's handspeed, southpaw stance, and workrate.

          maybe he drops joe for good measure early on, but that's only to get joe worked up and "welsh-swagging."

                P4P, Calzaghe is the best fighter to come out of the UK in my opinion.

                  Not sure if you're asking about H2H or resume wise. Either way, I'd say Calzaghe. Joe would outwork him easily to a wide UD. The only way Froch could win would be by a KO, which would be highly unlikely to happen. Prime for prime Calzaghe schools him easily Imo.

                  As for resume, I'd also go with Joe comfortably. For example, he beat old Hopkins, who then went on a very good run, performing at the top level for 5 years now since their fight. Or Kessler, who was prime back then when Calzaghe defeated him, and after that he went and became the #1 fighter in the division. He also beat Froch, and it wasn't exactly a prime Kessler who fought at Super Six. Froch's rematch was against faded Kessler, prime for prime Mikkel is the better fighter. It's not like Froch doesn't gave great wins, his resume is also amazing. Abraham, Johnson, Bute, Kessler, Pascal, Taylor, Dirrel.. amazing resume. It's just that Calzaghe tops him Imo.

                    Frochs resume has more depth, Calzaghes has longevity, Hopkins and his record.

                    I rank Joe higher but Froch has more names on it I think Hopkins and the fact Calzaghe is the much better fighter IMO make it so.
